Software-defined Storage solves performance problems

Big Data, Cloud Computing, Social Media, Mobile Business: These trends have spurred on exponential volumes of data that now need to be recorded, processed and analysed. High performance applications are required to assist, but also storage systems need to offer sufficient performance to efficiently store and back up the data they generate, guaranteeing high availability and overall administration. Traditional hard drive- storage arrays quickly reach their limits here. As a result, alternative paths are sought to work around these limits. This paper provides an overview of storage technologies available today and their advantages and disadvantages.

Software-defined Storage simplifies the management process

Software-defined storage (SDS) is initiating a paradigm shift in the field of computer storage: We are moving away from providing hardware-based storage functions and services towards a software-orientated alternative. As a result, systems management can be automated and centralised, therefore its functions can be shared on all systems throughout the infrastructure, irrespective of the specific device or manufacturer. Below is an overview of the added value that can be achieved with regard to data management by switching to SDS and its invaluable functions and tools.

Speed, Scale, Security: Orchestrating a Great Download Experience

Delivering software is becoming harder every day. Not only do you have to compete in a universe of 15 billion connected devices, but also with a growing number of users downloading everything from new applications to virus updates.

The result is a growing congestion that can undermine your ability to get your application, software patch, or device update to your end users as quickly as possible. And every minute that your users spend trying to download your software is a minute they can’t spend using it.

What it ultimately comes down to is latency.
